Chapter 61 : A Rebellious Intent
The Heavenly Emperor was the most important person in the first layer of the entire heavenly realm. Only select people had the chance to meet him regularly, among which the Palace Masters and the palace officials.
Omegas who never amounted to anything usually just stayed at home and waited for their alphas to come back and tell them about news from outside. Meeting the Heavenly Emperor in this manner was thus reminiscent of gazing at the sun directly.
Although the Heavenly Empress complained a lot about not being favored by her esteemed husband, she too had to swallow her nervosity when said husband decided to pay him a visit.
Meanwhile, the other omegas held their spirit companions in their arms and kowtowed so low that their foreheads touched the ground.
They were too terrified to look up. Even the sound of the languid footsteps and fabrics dragging across the ground was enough to make them tremble from fear.
"This subject greets His Majesty," the Empress curtsied in front of the Heavenly Emperor. She only bent her knees for a short while when she was pulled up by the Emperor.
"Aren’t you pregnant? Why are you being careless with your body?"
The Empress could hardly hide her happiness when she heard the Emperor’s loving words.
Xie Jianyu cupped his hands in front of the Empress and solemnly said, "Congratulations to the Empress on the pregnancy. I pray for a safe delivery."
The Empress hated Xie Jianyu, but she was not stupid enough to show it in front of the Emperor.
Fortunately, she was a talented actress.
